Heavenly Creations by Holly McMillen

I think today is a great day to celebrate friends and neighbors. I was driving home from the store last night and was in wonder at the beautifully lit streets and houses along the way.

We spent the evening at a neighbor’s house, sharing stories of Christmases past as well as what our traditions are for the holiday. I also shared a little love with the little girl, who is turning four on Friday. I made her this name frame. My very first! I want to make some more now… one for her brother (who was quite jealous!) and for my little cousin who would appreciate it so much.

So, to all my friends and neighbors, I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, Happy Hanukkah, Happy “Whatever you celebrate”. I, personally, will sit with my children and remember the REAL reason for the season :).

What a fun framed name – great job. Have a blessed Christmas celebrating Christ’s birthday with your family, Holly. Thanks for the wonderful work you post on your blog and for sharing yourself with us

I must go shovel snow yet again. We have 1 1/2 feet on the ground now and about another 10 inches fell last night — very unusual for us out here on the coast. Needless to say, the kids are beyond happy Can’t wait to celebrate Christmas tonite (we are Christmas Eve people) even if our numbers will be down because of the snow and people not being able to travel (we don’t exactly have good snow removal here due to the infrequency of snow out this way). Regardless, we’ll have a wonderful time with family – the best part of it all.
